Panopticon couldn’t be safer. That’s what Johnathan tells his wife before she’s slaughtered by a long-necked man, eerily resembling the city’s streetlights. He experiences the impact of ‘The Hammer’ when authorities declare her death a suicide to preserve public perception. If he refuses to cooperate, someone must take responsibility, and Johnathan holds the axe. To prevent his son from growing up on the streets like him, he must let them bury the truth or face first-degree murder charges. 

Conveniently, the streetlight factory burned to the ground that night, killing ten employees and torching the evidence. Betrayed by those closest to him, Johnathan’s investigation is dead in the water. When he’s hired to find the fire starter, he lands himself neck deep in a larger conspiracy, forcing him to choose between avenging his wife or a future with his son.
